Hi Wayne,

 The latest version of the 3D_initial_merge branch (r6537) has the
following changes:

1. synced with main branch r6601
2. changes to 3D resolver to alleviate the reported problem with KISYS3DMOD
  being a subdirectory of the current working directory
3. changes by Bernhard to ensure a working installation on OSX
4. various small bug fixes and code cleanup
5. UI improvement (path configuration button added to Footprint Properties
editors)

 I haven't had much feedback on MSWin so far. The crash on loading the
3D plugins is likely due to MSWin not finding libraries such as wxwidgets
and
kicad_3dsg to link to the plugins at runtime. If that's the case then this
is a
packaging issue and I'd need some assistance from MSWin experts on how
to address the problem. One obvious method of course is to put the plugins
in the kicad/bin directory on MSWin, but I'd like to avoid that kludge if
possible.

 I'd also appreciate some help from anyone on the zoom function for the
3D preview pane. The zoom works on Linux when using the mouse scroll
wheel but in MSWin I can only change the viewing angle, not the zoom. On
OSX I have no idea what the status is for zooming the model.

- Cirilo
